Hearing participants may be asked to answer questions submitted by the audience (in writing, at the hearing), at EPA’s discretion (40 CFR 750.19).

The rule does not: (1) Have an annual effect to the economy of $100 million or more or adversely affect in a material way the economy; a section of the economy; productivity; competition; jobs; the environment; public health or safety; or State, local, or tribal governments or communities; (2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another Agency; (3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs, or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 (4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President’s priorities, or the principles set forth in this Executive Order. Section 202, Public Law 104–4, ‘‘Unfunded Mandates Reform Act’’ It has been certified that this rule does not contain a Federal mandate that may result in the expenditure by State, local and tribal governments, in aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year. Public Law 96–354, ‘‘Regulatory Flexibility Act’’ (5 U.S.C. 601) It has been certified that this rule is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) because it would not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The implementation of this rule will facilitate the receipt documentation process and enhance the accountability of DLA-provided goods, as well as provide a basis for more efficient and expeditious payments to affected contractors. In this process, contractors input copies of signed delivery documents provided by the transporter of the supplies into the Wide Area Workflow system. Contractor use of the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system is being implemented throughout the Department of Defense for submission of invoices. Approximately 1 hour is needed to learn the new system. Use of the WAWF system does not require any additional reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance records from small entities. Therefore no additional capability or resource expenditure will be required and no significant impact is anticipated. Public Law 96–511, ‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act’’ (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) It has been certified that this rule does impose reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. E:\FR\FM\19MYP1.SGM 19MYP1

proposed regulation described in the SUMMARY above. As required by 40 
CFR 750.18(a), the hearing will begin no sooner than seven (7) days

remainder of this Federal Register publication summarizes the 
procedures and logistics for this informal hearing, which is being held 
pursuant to the regulations cited above. Participants and/or commenters 
are advised to see 40 CFR part 750 for additional details.
    Each person or organization desiring to participate in the informal 
hearing must file a written request to participate with the Hearing 
Clerk identified above. (Participation in this context means providing

brief statement of the interest of the person or organization in the 
proceeding; (2) a brief outline of the points to be addressed; (3) an

believe the most efficient and reliable means of delivery is by 
electronic mail, so we encourage all participants to provide their e-

Hearing Clerk will mail the hearing schedule at least three days prior 
to the hearing, although due to delivery time, we can not be sure that

submitted by the audience (in writing, at the hearing), at EPA's 
discretion (40 CFR 750.19). Participants in the hearing may also submit
